This, like the Prince uniform, just seems so try-hard to me. It's a quick trip from these to all of those "quirky" minor league baseball uniforms. We're a year or two away from Star Wars Houston Rockets or Twinkies Golden State Warriors or a Trail Blazers version of this:

If everything is special then nothing is.
Like NBA, I don't understand some people's fascination with "fixing" the regular season. Teams play a bunch of games in conference and fewer out of conference. Why is that bad? If you live in Phoenix, you get to see Kyrie once a year. That's pretty cool. And also sometimes you get random things like the Wolves and Magic having an awesome game.
I think the serendipity you can find in a long regular season is a good thing. Why make everything Super Intense all the time?

Well, yeah, it would have to be Lonzo+. But he would be the heart of the deal.
Lillard is 28 now, so probably has five good years left? Lonzo has 12 and would be there after LeBron. If it were me, I'd keep Ball. But it's not me, and LeBron isn't patient.

Yes, the Clips have become a really fun, professional team. It's a welcome change of pace from the latter-day Lob City crybaby Clippers.
The Lakers are going to make a move this season. Rondo just broke his hand, so Lonzo is probably safe for a little while longer. But if there's a Lonzo-for-Lillard move out there, LA will take it. But when Hart and Ingram were once expendable, I think both are less so now. LA is now undefeated with Chandler. And, in fact, Chandler and McGee have been an incredible center duo - the Lakers don't give up much inside and their offensive rebounding is really good.
The Lakers are finally picking up wins against Western Conference teams they should be beating and that's good; they're going to need all of them by April.

So on TV....I don't hate them. It might be because I hate their black-striped purple set so much that I'm open to something less severe. But as an alt, it fits in the family of the old Hollywood Nights set and the pinstripes aren't noticeable on TV.
As a fan, I'm a fan.
